Tagalog translation of a poem written by the Emperor Meiji
Mutsuhito (1852-1912) was the first monarch of the Empire of Japan reigning from 1867 until his death in 1912. Traditionally, when a Japanese emperor dies, he is given a posthumous name. For that reason, after his death, Mutsuhito was known as Emperor Meiji referring to the Meiji era during which he reigned. Besides ruling over Japan, Emperor Meiji also spent his time writing poetry. However, an emperor who wrote poems was not a given seeing as how the author expresses his surprise over the poem he translated from Japanese to Tagalog
